Are you ready for a daily routine to lose weight that you’ll actually LOVE?!
Committing to daily routine to lose weight takes some discipline and I know you can you can do it! Your daily routine should be something that is easily, but not too easily fits into your daily routine.
Think about this, when you wake up what is the first thing you do? Your daily routine to lose weight should include the healthy habits that make you feel more energized and fueling to your body.
Getting into this new routine might require you to replace a few old habits with new ones. Weight loss by no means is easy, but TOTALLY possible if you stay disciplined in your daily routine!
This post is all about your daily routine to lose weight!
1. Prioritize REST
This cannot be stressed enough! You NEED sleep! Your body needs rest. In order for you to perform at your best in the gym or during your workouts.
When you prioritize adequate sleep you give your body the ability to BURN fat. This happens because when you are in the 6-8 hour window of sleep, your muscles are relaxed and it’s not one of those “sleepless” nights.
Plan on getting 6-8 hours of the sleep the night before so your body is ready for your workout the next morning.
2. Wake up earlier
I know we are in that season where it might be more difficult to wake up earlier due the seasons changing BUT I want you to try!
This could mean you waking up earlier to get your workout done before work or carving time out in the evening to make sure your workout gets done.
Try setting your alarm for 10 -15 minutes earlier. This will give you extra time to wake up and get ready for your workout.
Tip: Before you start your workout eat a preworkout snack! Think a rice cake with almond butter and fruit or a banana. This will give you that boost of energy before your workout. If you need a drink to give you energy, green tea is a great option. This will supply you with natural boosts without artificial ingredients.
3. Start where you can
Don’t think you need to be in the gym or working out for more than an hour in order to lose weight. You don’t need equipment to start. You just need your beautiful body!
If you are going the gym, at least 10 minutes of movement is perfect! When you feel like you can handle more, progress to 30 minutes.
If you don’t have access to a gym, take advantage of the outdoors! Go for a walk or a run. Try a new workout classes. Not to mention there are TONS of FREE workouts online!
You don’t have to have access to EVERYTHING in order to see the results you want.
If you do go the gym… 30 minutes of strength training even 2-3 times of week is a great place to start!
You don’t have to be perfect, but you do just have to start!
4. Invest in equipment
Equipment will SAVE you even when you don’t feel like leaving your house. You can’t make excuses when you what you need to get it done!
Equipment like resistance bands and slider discs. These act as weight and resistance when your away from the gym, don’t feel like going to the gym or need a quick endorphin boost!
Need a little more resistance for your squats, glute bridges and wall sits? She’s got you!
These are perfect long resistance bands that can easily replace dumbbells. These are so versatile and SO easy to take on the go!
These are perfect to add to any workout to light your core or lower body on fire!
5. Abs are made in the kitchen!
They actually are! Okay so the truth is, you can be in the gym all day, but if you aren’t fueling your body with the right types of foods, you may not see the results you want.
You should be fueling your body with whole foods! This is a balance of protein, tons of veggies, carbs and healthy fats. This also includes eating consistently throughout the day. Yes that means that means at least breakfast, lunch and dinner and 2 snacks.
The key to losing weight is eating MORE of the foods that fuel your body and LESS of what doesn’t! Your plate might look different than before but your body will appreciate this! You can find tons of food inspo HERE!
You don’t have to say no to pasta or bread or your favorite drinks. It does mean that you might have to find healthy swaps so that you can enjoy your favorite treats!
Yes this might require a little extra work on your part to meal prep, say no to certain types of foods and choose what’s best for YOU! Trust me when the pounds start coming off, you won’t be sorry you said no!

6. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Drink your water, sis! Whether you are at home, on the go or in the office you NEED to keep a water bottle near you! You’re more likely to drink when the water is in sight!
Staying hydrated throughout the day might require to use the bathroom more but this means your body is getting rid of all the unwanted stuff to make room for more of what your body needs!
Do you ever think you’re hungry, but you aren’t, you’re just thirsty? This is the PERFECT example of needing to have a water bottle on hand.
I’ve been using this water bottle for the past 6 months and it keeps me on track all day!
This is the motivational water bottle you need!
7. Recovery
Recovery is just as important as the workout. This is also known as the “cool down” after you’ve completed your workout. When you stretch and foam roll after workout you are prevent muscle fatigue, burnout and being tight and tense the next day (although this still may happen!)
The recovery process should be about 5-10 minutes after your workout. This reduces your heart rate and literally gives your body the chance to cool down.
I highly recommend this foam roller. The ridges will feel like a deep tissue massage of the larger parts of your muscles. This feels like heaven for your muscles!
If you feel overwhelmed by this, it’s okay! You don’t have to commit to everything at once! Take baby steps and know that it’s a journey.
Your daily routine will change. As long as you stick to the HABITS that make you feel like THAT GIRL then you’re set!
